According to a report by Premium Times, the Secretary of the ward, Ahmed Abdulhamid; the Public Relations Officer, Auwal MaiAnguwa and ex-officio member, Aminu Alilan, who reportedly signed the suspension letter all said their signatures were forged.
Speaking on the issue, Abbas Mohammed, the Chairman of Tudun Wada ward of the APC, said: “Three people were said to have signed the suspension letter. The third person was a delegate and not an ex-officio as stated in the statement.
“The whole letter is forged and none of the ward executive appended his signature or is even aware of the suspension [until it was made public].
“That is why we called for a meeting today to make our positions known to the world.
“What happened was that we had a meeting yesterday and we did not reach any conclusion. It was on that basis that we requested him (Senator Shehu Sani) to come and explain some of the issues raised against him.
“The party shall investigate the sources of this statement because the three executives mentioned to have signed the statement have denied knowledge of it.”
It was also gathered that the state party executives and some party leaders met at the state secretariat of the party on Ali Akilu Road with some of them who spoke anonymously enthusing that they had no knowledge of the suspension.
One State executive council member said: “We are not aware of any suspension of Senator Sani. In fact we are convening a meeting now, and we have also summoned him to come.”
